Furikake

A dried condiment used to sprinkle over rice. It typically consists of dried and ground up fish, sesame seeds, seaweed, salt and sugar. It also invariably includes monosodium glutamate (MSG). It is often presented as colourful flakes and is sometimes spicy and is very commonly used in Japan to season children’s lunchbox rice.
